The Google Pixel 9 is expected to launch sometime in October, and new leaked images show the flagship from all angles – and at the same time, we’ve also got an expected price for the Google Pixel 8a.
First, the pictures are from a Russian website rosetkd (above Robot police) – and you can see how the rear camera bar has become the rear camera island. Compared to what we saw on the Google Pixel 8, the corners are more rounded and the sides are flatter
As always with leaks, we have to be careful when assessing the authenticity of these images, but the device shown here matches unofficial renders that have previously found their way onto the internet.
While the revamped look isn’t to everyone’s liking, it’s still recognizable as a Pixel phone thanks to the wider camera island. We can see a USB-C port, the usual power and volume buttons and a SIM tray slot at the bottom of the device.
More expensive mid-range phones
Next, the Pixel 8a pricing leaks surfaced Passionate geeks (And Check the notebook) is a source we haven’t heard much of in the past. So again, consider this an unconfirmed rumor for now.
Apparently, retail listings in Canada have priced the 128GB version of the Pixel 8a at $708.99 CAD, while the 256GB version is available for $792.99 CAD – confirming previous rumors that prices for the mid-range phones will increase this year. .
Now, of course, Google doesn’t use standard currency conversions for its global pricing, but for reference: $515 / £415 / AU$805 for the cheapest option and $575 / £465 / AU$900 for the more expensive option variant.
The Google Pixel 7a was originally sold in Canada for $499 / £449 / AU$749 and $599 CAD, so there could be a big price increase in the near future. The Pixel 8a is expected to be unveiled at the Google I/O 2024 event on May 14.
